Seems like earlier in the week they were on sale for a tad less. Maybe the 2903 isn't a bad SCSI controller but Adaptec has made some of the best and some of the worst. 2940's are showing up at "computer shows" around here starting at $25. Think this one may have LVD, got it last year for $35: ahc0: port 0xd800-0xd8ff mem 0xff100000-0xff100fff irq 10 at device 14.0 on pci0 aic7890/91: Ultra2 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/255 SCBs -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
